This is... hell...
This was before the creation of heaven and earth...
The earth is still covered with lava and poisonous gas, and it is a hell where high heat and extreme cold alternate.
The so-called hell is the most primitive posture when this planet was born, not even life was allowed to exist!
This harsh scene is the memory deeply engraved in the deepest part of the ocean of human soul!
Naruto opened his eyes suddenly. He was standing in this world, with lava and poisonous gas flowing under his feet, tsunamis and erupting volcanoes coming one after another, and violent winds and heavy rains alternating or coexisting.
"This...here is..."
He looked at everything in front of him in surprise. If he remembered correctly, he was on his way to the Western Continent and took a nap on the way, but why did he suddenly appear here
besides…
What is this place? !
Ninja world? !
No, absolutely not!
Naruto flew high, he could hardly believe what he saw from high in the sky...
That is the end, endless destruction!
The entire planet, regardless of the east and west continents, the earth and the ocean, is the same. The surface of the planet is full of such horrific scenes!
The world is destroyed!
no doubt!
No, it’s not so much that the world is destroyed, but it’s that the world has not yet been born!
In this world, there is no concept of life and no ecology. There is only pure 'dead silence'...
"You came?"
Suddenly, words came out in the dead silence, and on the ground where the lava was flowing, a man stood silently on it.
He ignored the rioting elements around him, as if they were just an insignificant breeze blowing by.
Then, he turned his head and said to Naruto
"Welcome to the beginning of creation."
He spoke very calmly, but the other being in this world widened his eyes and opened his mouth.
"Ka... Katz?!"
That's right, the man who appeared on the earth was the man who devoured King Haku's body in the Land of Waves and later gave it to Naruto but took it away soon after, Kaz!
"You are growing up very quickly, Naruto Namikaze."
Kaz said softly, "Maybe it was a mistake for me to take the Holy Lord's will from you."
"What did you do with him?" Naruto descended from the sky and landed opposite Kaz.
Looking at this one of the masterminds behind the ninja world, Naruto couldn't help but be extremely vigilant even if he stood in a different place than before.
"I just left a back-up in advance. Thanks to you, Aizen Sosuke and I saw another world. But compared to other things that can go all out, I have more important things to do now, so I I don’t have the energy to take care of the Holy Lord at the moment. If I can’t survive the next battle, then it’s useless no matter how much preparation I make.”
There was deep loneliness in his words when he spoke, as if there was some huge fear in his heart.
What is he worried about? What is he afraid of
He is already one of the strongest in the ninja world, and he also possesses weird spatial abilities. It can be said that no one in this world can deal with him.
But Naruto could hear the wavering in his words at this moment, which was a genuine fear of an uncertain future.
"Is Gremlin so scary?"
Naruto vaguely guessed that Kaz was most likely related to Gremlin, but the fact was that the relationship between them was much deeper than he imagined.
Kaz chuckled softly, but did not answer Naruto's question immediately, but asked instead
"Do you know where this place is?"
"The beginning of creation...? I heard you say it before..." Naruto answered honestly
"Yes, only those who have penetrated deeply into the sea of life and soul can come here in a dream and witness all this with their own eyes..."
"The sea of life and soul..."
Naruto recited this word and was suddenly startled. He thought of the place he had arrived at after defeating the Holy Lord in the spiritual war on the waters of the Kingdom of Water.
That is the deepest part of a person's soul, which is called the sea of soul by Aizen...
"Everyone has a sea of souls, and the locations are the same."
Kaz said calmly, "Because we share the same 'mother'... Look, she is right there..."
Naruto subconsciously looked in the direction Kaz was pointing, and then... he was completely shocked.
On the abyss of the deep sea, ripples suddenly appeared...
The ripples spread bigger and bigger, and eventually the chain reaction spread to the entire sea.
And in the center of the ripples, where the ripples started, bubbles suddenly appeared one after another.
Then, something emerged from it—
It was a huge creature, resembling a human woman, but with huge horns on it. As time went by, the size of her exposed from the sea became larger and larger. In the end, it was like a giant that held up the world. Like a giant!
"what is this?!"
Naruto's mouth widened. He looked at the huge creature and felt a warm feeling in his heart for some reason, as if he had returned to the original cradle of life.
"The war between the apostles turned the planet into the most primitive and terrifying hell, and one of the gods named Tiamat stabilized the world with a power that transcended the nature of the world after the other apostles were exiled."
"She transformed this ecology covered by lava and filled with poisonous gas, making the environment stable. The volcano no longer erupts endlessly, and the sea no longer riots non-stop."
With Kaz's words, the world changed.
The ubiquitous red lava began to dissipate, the poisonous gas was purified, the sea began to stabilize, the strong winds subsided, and the heavy rain stopped...
The original world rejected all life, but at this moment it has reached the requirements sufficient to accommodate life.
What power is this
To change the ecological environment of the world so easily? !
"Then she used the power of the apostle that was lost in the original apostle war to create the gods, who controlled the sky, the earth and the ocean..."
The next moment, creatures began to be born. Each creature was extremely powerful. They regarded themselves as gods and began to rule in various regions.
"The god Tiamat created all living beings again, and densely packed various creatures appeared on the earth. Animals, plants and humans cohabited, finally forming a complete ecosystem."
Next came densely packed humans and various creatures, and plants began to grow densely. Natural evolution that originally took hundreds of millions of years or more was accelerated infinitely in this world, leaving Naruto dizzying to see.
"Is this the god that Gremlin wants to resurrect, Tiamat?"
Naruto murmured.
If it is really her, then the reason why Gremlin is named after a god has been found.
With Tiamat's power, maybe it's really enough to start the next era, right
"All things are created by mother, so everyone's soul ocean is the same at the deepest level. This is also... the basis for human beings to complete."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Naruto's angry questioning.
"Human completed?! Is this the move Tachibana Masamune used back then?!"
It was exactly how Tachibana Masamune devoured Eri at the beginning. He still remembered the scene at that time. The beautiful flower-like person was transformed into the most basic component of life - amniotic fluid.
"Yes, this is a 'fusion method' derived from the 'Apostle's Completion'." Kaz admitted this very plainly, and then said, "With the tree of life as the core, all creatures are accommodated into one , in the process of the whole becoming one, it is both the individual evolution of the one and the overall sublimation of the whole. When completed, the ultimate creature that softens all life and reunites the sea of souls will be born."
"Kaz..." After listening to Kaz's words silently, Naruto said to him with a serious face.
"You... are one of the gods created at this time, right?"
Kaz fell into silence, and after a long time he made a sound that sounded like a sigh.
"Yeah... Thinking about it now, it happened so many years ago. Everyone was still together at that time... "
"And now, I am the only one left among the original people..."
"What exactly happened at that time?" Naruto continued to ask
They knew too little about Taikoo, and now that Kaz finally came here to deliver information, Naruto must seize this opportunity.
Moreover, he knew too much about Taikoo things, and he might also find clues about Jiraiya.
"We betrayed mother." Kaz recovered as before and said expressionlessly, "The gods joined forces to have a war with mother. That battle brought the world that had finally stabilized to the brink of destruction again, and the final result It’s a lose-lose situation.”
"All the gods except me died, and my mother finally died, so this world will no longer have the rule of the gods and the mother of life."
"Why?" Naruto couldn't help but ask
What on earth made the gods want to kill Tiamat at the risk of total annihilation? !
Why on earth had to kill his mother? !
"Because it's not needed anymore."
Kaz said coldly, "The world no longer needs Tiamat's ability. That kind of power is a huge threat to a world with a complete ecological system. Of course, a god who can easily create the world can destroy the world and recreate it." , this kind of behavior is unacceptable to us."
"Even if she didn't mean this, the gods whose power and thoughts are changing day by day can't accept this after all. Even the world itself can't tolerate Tiamat's existence."
"So, the battle broke out." Kaz spoke with lingering fear now, he finally said
"You probably all know what happened next. After the war, the world was once again on the verge of destruction. At this time, human sages used the mother's body as raw material to create the core foundation for maintaining the multidimensional world, that is Spiritual King!"
"This is...the earliest era of human origin..."
… … …
It was the same scene in another world. After experiencing the same ecological change, Kaz looked at the person in front of him.
It's not Naruto, but another person who has come to the sea of souls!
Sasuke Uchiha!
At this moment, after listening to Kaz's popular science, Sasuke suddenly asked a question
"Do you... know Jiraiya?"
"Jiraiya?" Kaz was stunned, then slowly shook his head, "I have no impression..."
"Really..." Hearing his answer, the corner of Sasuke's mouth raised. "Then, tell me your purpose... Although I don't know who you are, I think you didn't just want to tell me this when you appeared in front of me." ?”
Sasuke really didn't have a deep impression of Kaz. After all, he only met him once when he was finishing up in the Land of Waves.
The only thing he cared about was that the White King's power was divided into two parts. He got the White King's mental power, while Kaz got the White King's physical body.
In fact, the difference between the two of them is not very good. After all, Kaz himself has a strong physical body. He wants spiritual power more than the body of a god.
But God's will plays a trick on people, and Sasuke got the favor of this power without any effort...
"You are indeed a smart man."
Kaz clapped his hands and said in appreciation
"I need you to do something for me."
"What's the matter?" Sasuke asked
"Hermes, a member of Gremlin, is deploying an extremely terrifying thing in the Western Continent. I need you to stop him."
"? What about you?" Sasuke said with a frown.
"I am always under Gremlin's attention, and of course I cannot take action myself, so I need your power. Of course, I will also give you benefits after the matter is completed."
Having said this, an electrode-like ring appeared on his hand and said
"This thing can connect the spiritual power of about 20,000 people. As long as you press this switch, you can share that power within five minutes."
"How about it?"
"Of course..." Sasuke crossed his arms and said
"Deal."
… … …
"So, what's the price?"
Naruto suddenly said
"What is your purpose in making you say so many things and suddenly appearing in front of me?"
"Heh..." Kaz smiled, "I don't mean anything, I just want to tell you these things..."
"If you have to tell me why..." Kaz stretched out his hand as an invitation.
"Then I hope you can join forces with me."
"You already know that the Spirit King is the body of God Tiamat. At this moment, under the creation of Dio's heaven, the Spirit King has left the Spirit King Palace, and I don't know where he is now."
"Although the Spirit King is just Tiamat's body and does not fully represent her, for the apostle, as long as a part of it appears in the world, the apostle's cohesion will instinctively reintegrate the power, which means that sooner or later it will be Yamat will truly be resurrected and return to this world.”
"The moment God Tiamat returns, the second creation will begin, a new ecosystem will be born, and our old world will fall apart and even be completely destroyed..."
"So, if you don't want to have such an ending, find a way to prevent Tiamat's resurrection! Find the Spirit King before her soul returns to her body, and then send her back to the Spirit King Palace!"
